- I spent 20 years of my life working in the bicycle industry, turning wrenches and selling bikes for some of the industry's best shops. I have extensive experience designing and constructing frames in both steel and titanium and have performed thousands of bike fits. I am passionate about bicycles in all forms. The bicycle provides me with physical and mental health and taps me into a social pipeline that allows me to share my passion with others. I ride as often as possible and love the flow of a hard group ride. Check back for musings about all things road cycling and, especially, the Spring Classics. The devil is in the details and I am an expert in the useless minutia that makes up our discipline.

The first time I rode down the trench was in 2004. Was a damp morning the Friday before the race. I rode in by myself to stay out of trouble, on the crown as fast as I could. Your vision goes triple it's so rough. It's a scary tunnel, muddy rocks below you and trees around you. I eased up 10 meters from the end and heard a shout. Tafi and Backstedt were on my wheel.
Is that Sheridan Road?
...it's quite incredible, really, that roubaix continues on as so popular amongst the PRO riders...it makes a real statement about how tough these guys are...
...in america, the course would be lined w/ more lawyers than fans...
With so much technology nowadays it still impresses me that select riders will go with tubulars that are aged over a decade. Whenever I hear that todays clincher rides like a tubular I want to burst out laughing. ITs never going to happen.
